Information Technology student device pathway
Bring Your Own Technology – BYOT Program
Last year the College implemented a BYOT – “Bring Your Own Technology” environment in the Senior School.  Under a BYOT program students are able to connect a technology device of choice to the College WIFI and access electronic College resources.  Allowing students to choose their preferred device allows them to work with technology they are already familiar and comfortable with.   It also encourages greater responsibility of their device.  As BYOT allows students access to the same devices at school and at home, it can extend learning opportunities to times and places outside of the classroom.
 
To enhance our BYOT program the College provides students in the Middle and Senior Schools with their own Microsoft Office 365 account which provides 25GB storage in the cloud along with access to  Microsoft Office web apps allowing students to create and edit Word, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Excel documents from any modern browser on their device.
“BYOT makes one-to-one easier by simply leveraging the devices that students already have”.
Responsibilities of BYOT
Students must bring their device of choice to school charged every day.  At this stage students can only connect one device to the College WIFI. The responsibility to keep student device(s) secure rests with the individual owner. Lockers are provided to each student. St Andrews Lutheran College nor its staff or employees, are liable for any device lost, stolen or damaged at school. Additionally, protective cases for technology are strongly recommended.

iPad Program – Years 6 – 9
We have chosen the iPad under a “bring your own device” parent funded program for these year levels as we believe this device goes hand in hand to support mobile learning and increases the students flexibility and exposure to ICT.
Students are required to own an iPad2 or later model. The 16GB WiFi only model is sufficient to purchase for your child to use.  Any models later than this are fine for use, except the iPad mini as we believe the screen is too small for everyday use in the classroom.  While at the College, students will have access to the internet through the College WIFI. When connecting to the internet, on-line activity will be filtered through the College firewall.
